33 Special timber handling machines from Liebherr
Performance
The new electric-powered material handling equipment
has been specially developed to deal with the particular
requirements of industrial material handling. A large spec-
trum of equipment and an uppercarriage optimised for
large reaches makes it possible to cater for all waste and
cargo handling requirements. With all of its major compo-
nents manufactured inhouse and combined with the pow-
er of an electric motor, the drive train output maximises
the machine's performance in terms of lift capacity, preci-
sion and work pace. The scope of this high performing
equipment is enhanced considerably thanks to a track-
fitted undercarriage.
Reliability
With more than 30 years of experience in designing elec-
tric material handling equipment, Liebherr developed the
new models EP 934 C, EP 944 C and EP 954 C to com-
ply with every demand from the market. The layout of the
machines was completely revised due to the components
of the electric drive system, which means the unit is more
than just a conversion of a conventional vehicle with
diesel drive system. All of the important components of
the electric drive system have been integrated in the ex-
isting exterior dimensions of the uppercarriage. Liebherr
electric material handling machines offer a high level of
reliability so that they can consistently fulfil their key func-
tions when deployed in industrial areas. The already long
service life of the hydraulic components is further en-
hanced by the low noise electric drive system. The drive
concept, with just one electric motor, ensures that the
high voltage is limited to the range of the switch cabinet
and drive system and the low voltage functions are capa-
ble of being comprised in one terminal box.
Comfort
To allow the operator to concentrate optimally on his/her
work and utilise the machine's maximum performance,
all electric material handling machines feature an ergo-
nomically designed driver's cab with high level of comfort
and good all-round vision. The new electric material han-
dling machines offer the same level of comfort as con-
ventionally-driven material handling machines (layout of
control elements, operator's seat, climate control, large
glazed surfaces, etc…). Thanks to low noise generation
and the elimination of vibrations, the electric drive sys-
tem provides greater comfort. For Liebherr, comfort also
means easily accessible service and check points for all
daily maintenance tasks on the machine in order to keep
downtimes as minimal as possible.
Economy
Investing in an electric material handling concept pays in
the long term. Continually rising costs from convention-
al energies are a burden on operating costs and reduce
profit margins considerably. Environmental factors and
CO
2
emissions, in particular, are growing in importance
with the choice of engines/motors and working methods.
With the electric drive system, Liebherr offers an eco-
nomically interesting alternative to conventional machines
and, moreover, an eco-friendly solution. Furthermore, the
material handling machine is always available because
refuelling is no longer necessary. Requirements such as
particulate filters, AdBlue, etc. are superfluous.
